I think the show could have been better if it had been real. There was so much hype on the show, but if you were able to look at the cars you would see that they might not start or the shocks would not even be hooked up.
I have heard they would have to tell the owner to not even to touch the car since the paint was still wet.
Very disappointed that the show wasn't exactly as it was depicted. The time frames of completion was always being falsified. They always needed time later to actually complete the car. Fake.
